Tervals

Tervals are a type of traditional Scandinavian pastry, originating from the Nordic countries of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. They are typically made from a dough consisting of flour, butter, sugar, and eggs, which is then rolled out and cut into shapes, often circles or squares. The dough is then baked until golden brown and crispy. Tervals are often served as a dessert, accompanied by jam, whipped cream, or powdered sugar. They are a popular treat during the holiday season, particularly around Christmas and New Year's Eve. The name "terval" is derived from the Swedish word "tervag," which means "thank you." This reflects the tradition of giving tervals as a token of gratitude, often to children who have been well-behaved. Tervals are also a popular choice for special occasions and celebrations, and their simple yet delicious flavor makes them a favorite among both children and adults.
